So, our kids not only seem smart. They are smart.

These words were said to me by a well-meaning friend yesterday. At first, I was a bit taken aback because my kids *are* smart. I suppose I've been living in my own little dyslexia-friendly bubble due to joining several parent groups. However, those words shattered the bubble into a million pieces, and I came crashing back down to reality. How many times have people thought this, but not voiced it? As I stood there with my jaw hanging open, my first reaction was defensiveness. I wanted to go into my children's higher-than-average IQ scores, and repeat that Einstein, Edison, and Spielberg all have dyslexia. As I got home, however, those words sat with me. They sat with me because I realize that for one person who voiced those words, many more think them. And we must, as a community, change that perception.Why do so many people outside of the dyslexia community believe that slow reading means a person is slow in thinking as well? Dr. Sally Shawitz from theis famous for telling us reading and intelligence do not always go hand in hand. As we look at her research, it's important to study her words closely. Reading and intelligence don't always go hand in hand. That "always" is important. Her research shows that in a non-dyslexic mind, in fact, those two do correlate (reading and intelligence). So, in a non-dyslexic mind, the smarter you are the better you will read. Bam! That, right there, is why people who do not have a knowledge of dyslexia tend to think it means our kids "aren't smart" because for those who are not dyslexic, reading ability and intelligence do go hand in hand. However, Dr. Shaywitz goes on to say dyslexia is the exception to this rule. In a dyslexic mind, reading and intelligence absolutely do not correlate. Period. No ifs, ands or buts about it.

Is reading music the same for all instruments?

Short answer: No. The difference you see in the sheet music is that for guitar you use the G clef and pianos use both the G and F clefs. This is not much of a difference except for the visual part. The notes are notes all the same.

Short answer: No.

The difference you see in the sheet music is that for guitar you use the G clef and pianos use both the G and F clefs. This is not much of a difference except for the visual part. The notes are notes all the same. You can learn to read piano music in 5 minutes to know the F clef plus a week to get used to it. About composing, if you don't have the time to learn what pianist-composers learn, you don't have the time to learn composition at all. Like Matthew said, apart from the technicalities of each instrument, the music itself is all the same. A hint for a guitar player is that if you start in one area as opposed to another you might get some results quicker. For example, 'functional harmony' (I learned the term in Portuguese, I'm not sure they call it the same in English), the one that deals in terms of dominant, subdominant, etc, might be more quickly useful than say, the kind of harmony in Schönberg's "Theory of Harmony". Learning that after a G7 chord you can have a C chord might be more useful than learning conduction of many voices in the short term. But if you're serious about composing you'll have to go through it all eventually. Harmony, counterpoint, structure, the whole thing.
